We are only able to supply goods subject to the following Terms and Conditions. We regret that we cannot accept conflicting Terms of Purchase, which are hereby excluded. All orders for goods placed by you shall be deemed to be conclusive evidence of your acceptance of these Terms and Conditions.

These terms are intended to be fair to both parties and if they require any further clarification please do not hesitate to contact us. It may be necessary to alter or amend these Terms and conditions from time to time and we shall do our best to inform you of any changes.

The price for the goods supplied in accordance with these Terms and Conditions shall be as set out in our price lists current at the time of placing your order, a copy of which may be obtained from us at any time by written or telephone request. To enable us to offer you the best possible service and to help minimise price increases, it is important that our payment terms are respected. If circumstances arise which prevent you from settling your invoices on time, please let us know so that we can resolve matters in a mutually acceptable manner.

Advance payment is required for all orders until a Credit Application has been approved..

WHEN CREDIT IS APPROVED UNLESS OTHERWISE AGREED BETWEEN US IN WRiTING, PAYMENT FOR GOODS SHALL BE DUE WITHIN 30 DAYS OF THE DATE OF INVOICE. PLEASE ENSURE THAT PAYMENT FOR GOODS REACHES US WITHIN THIS TIME. ORDERS OVER £1000 REQUIRE APPROVAL BY A DIRECTOR.

If you do not want to apply for credit or credit is not granted, we can offer a discount on pro-forma orders of:

• 2.5% on orders under £500
• 3.5% on orders over £501

We regret that we shall be unable to process an order where your account has become overdue or where your credit limit has been or may be exceeded. If such a situation arises, we may have to consider reviewing your credit facilities and may request proforma payment for future orders. Should despatch of an order be delayed pending settlement of an overdue account, receipt of monies due will normally result in the release of your order. Should it become necessary for us to take legal action to recover any debt we shall also seek to recover all costs, fees, expenses and losses incurred by us. Interest on overdue amounts will accrue from the date of due payment until payment is made at the rate of 2.5% above the Bank of England base rate prevailing at the time. We retain title to all goods supplied to you until all outstanding liabilities due from you to Atkins and Potts Ltd have been fully discharged. We reserve the right to enter premises, without permission, and remove any goods supplied by us (whether paid for or not) when a debt remains outstanding and unpaid. We do use the services of an outside agency, The Credit Protection Association, who will automatically process most accounts at a certain age of them falling due.
